told Fox News Digital<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday.<\/p>\n\u201cSo I really don\u2019t care or feel bad for her. And she didn\u2019t drop her classes, she failed out, hope that helps!\u201d Fleming said.<\/p>\n
Fleming has since responded, claiming that Slusser\u2019s eating disorder dated back for as long as she knew her, prior to her learning that she was trans. AP<\/p>\n
Slusser has now come back and disputed Fleming\u2019s allegations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese statements are just not true. I have always lived a very healthy lifestyle. Before these events took place I was very disciplined in fueling myself for athletics and [kept] track to make sure I was where I need to be to be the best athlete,\u201d Slusser told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t until all the craziness started that my healthy lifestyle turned very unhealthy into not eating the amount I should,\u201d Slusser said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for school, I decided to stay home after fall 2024 to better myself and heal. So no, I did not return to San Jose and enroll myself in more courses at an institution that didn\u2019t have my best interest,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Slusser alleged that she was never told Fleming\u2019s birth sex and said the two regularly shared hotel rooms on away trips, according to her lawsuits filed against the NCAA and Mountain West Conference.<\/p>\n
Fleming allegedly requested to be roomed with Slusser, a request she said was granted by team leadership, according to lawsuits.<\/p>\n
Slusser said that the 6ft1 Fleming confessed to being transgender during a conversation over ice cream with another teammate in April 2024.<\/p>\n
In September 2024, Slusser joined swimmer Riley Gaines\u2019 lawsuit against the NCAA.<\/p>\n
At the same time, SJSU\u2019s volleyball team saw a series of forfeits by opposing teams, with police protection regularly assigned.<\/p>\n
